Error received - Facebook videos

Hello All.
Do any Sony Xperia owners experience issues with loading videos on Facebook?
I continuously receive an error stating the following:
"Sorry, but an unknown error occurred while trying to play this video"
This is the first phone I've ever had this issue with.
Thabks

I have just replicated this in slightly different forms on two separate devices. As all other video functions for other sites such as Youtube etc appear to be working fine I can only assume that this is an error with the Facebook application and as such we may need to wait for an update to the application.

Unknown error on Facebook videos

Can't play videos

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. 
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
#Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
#Tap '''Settings'''.
#After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
#You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
#*Cookies & active logins
#*Cache
#After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

I always get a black screen & error message with YouTube, white screen on Facebook videos.

I always get a black screen & error message with YouTube. White screen on Facebook videos. I am using Firefox 17.0.1.
There is no more content to provide.

If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can check for problems caused by Flash updates and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Facebook videos are not opening

Dear fellows
I have Iconia W510. I am unable to open videos received on my facebook. it was working fine but yesterday I scanned my sysem, perhaps some files are deleted. Please guide how to recover. I don''t have image file.

Do you get any error messages? I think that most of the Facebook videos are using Flash, so you might go to get.adobe.com and download the latest Flash Player. I know recently Firefox balked ats playing Flash content unless you'd been updated to the latest version, due to a specific exploit of the older versions.

How do I get facebook videos to work?

Facebook videos on the main feed show a still image and a loading sign but never play and when I click on them I get a black screen and a loading sign. However, the video never plays.
This previous question states exactly what I'm talking about (with pictures) but unfortunately, they never received a solution...
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1048004
If anyone one has had a similar problem or knows how to fix it, please, please tell me?
Thanks!

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Cannot play Facebook videos on my ipad 3 - My family can on theirs????

Hi Guys,
I cannot play Facebook videos on my ipad 3 but my husband and kids can on their ipad 3's while we are all sitting next to each.
Get a loading message then its says An error occurred while processing your request Reference #50.c5fe3d17.1354202551.5533ac2d
Your help would be very much appreciated
Kind regards
Jo

Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

Facebook videos play, but foreground is blank white.

In internet explorer 11, running the latest version of flash, Facebook videos will load and play, but the video is replaced with a blank white box. I can hear sound, and when the bottom bar is visible the bottom portion of the video is visible in the background.
The flash player settings do come up on the object when right clicking and selecting 'Settings.' While the settings dialogue is up, the video is again visible in the background, faded.
I confirmed that videos play correctly in Google Chrome, but the computer's main user dislikes using other browsers. As far as I could conclude, videos on other sites play correctly.
I searched for solutions to this issue, but I have yet to find it described anywhere near the same, nor has any general solution or quick-fix worked yet.
Things I have tried:
Resetting IE settings
Resetting IE advanced settings
Resetting IE advanced settings and personal data
Disabling Hardware Acceleration
Uninstalling & Reinstalling video drivers
Uninstalling & Reinstalling IE11
Uninstalling & Reinstalling Java
Uninstalling & Reinstalling Flash
Installing Shockwave player seperately
Uninstalling IE11, Java, and Flash, rebooting and cleaning up unused system files and registry errors, then reinstalling everything
None of these seem to have any effect.

Start>Control Panel>Adobe Flash>check for updates from Adobe.
yes you will probably have to reboot.
and/or
Start>Control Panel>Java JRT (Oracle Java RTE) check for updates from Oracle.

Disable Facebook video calling problem

I Installed facebook vdeo calling, then I did want to use it any more so I deleted the .bundle file from the liberary>internet-plugin folder.
I am still getting a warning window which pops up for less than half seconds and then disappear even before I can read it..
In the conlole folder I saw the error message as
I have deleted the .bundle before but my safri still shows that that plugins installed
Facebook Video Calling Plugin
Facebook Video Calling by Skype — from file “FacebookVideoCalling.bundle”.
MIME Type
Description
Extensions
application/skypesdk-plugin
Facebook Video Calling plugin provided by Skype
.. I am just one user on my system, hence I have only 1 liberary folder.
I tried reinstalling the facebook videocalling again so that I will be able to see the .bundle file but it still wont show the file in the internet-plugin folder...
the video calling works fine but I want to delete this plugin, what should I do?

Hi from Ensenada, Mexico....   I have the same situation some hours ago, and the unique thing you need to do, is next:
1. Go to your "Home folder", locate the Library folder, then your "internet plug-ins" folder, inside this you will see an Alias file named "FacebookVideoCalling.bundle"
2. Point and select it with the mouse, then, click it with the second finger click or "CTRL + CLICK", a pop-up menu appear, select from list "show original"
3. If you erased the "Alias file", please go to this location:
     In a finder window, locate your home folder from the left navigation panel, the route will be
     "your home folder"> Library> Application Support> Facebook> Video> 1.1.0.12> "FacebookVideoCalling"
     { this route appear in my OS X Lion}
4. The "FacebookVideoCalling" is an application, I recomend that you use an unisntaller software like "TrashMe", if not, just remove all the Facebook Folder sending to the trash....
5. Is everything to do....   Regards !!!

Unable to Play facebook video

Unable to Play facebook video

All videos on Facebook are h.264 encoded so they don't need flash. Don't spread false information, iPad safari can play Facebook videos since last year. I used to play them without an issue on my iPad but I guess the latest software update screwed that up.
http://www.intomobile.com/2010/04/27/facebook-enables-ipad-friendly-video-playba ck/
The link says videos uploaded on Facebook are encoded in iPad friendly format, YouTube videos are already iPad friendly so you should be able to play most videos on Facebook on your iPad safari.

any ideas ?

Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.
